Music videos
As an ex keyboard player in a little band i joined with a few friends when i was younger, i have continued to enjoy the creation of music, weather it's creating my own material or calibrating with others, this is probably my second love to film making.
As time has passed, i have been involved in a hand full of music video projects which i find is great experience, especially on the editing side of things.
This is something i want to do more of in the future.
Check out what we have done so far.
"Robin Hood"
NEW!
From the imaginations of the crazy Rock band Running with Steve comes their debut video which I had the honour to film and edit together for them.
I can remember asking the lead singer Barry J Appleton (Teens vs Vampire Actor) where they came up with the bands name and who is Steve?
His simple answer was, "Well everyone knows a Steve"
"Blue Eyes"
Written, Sung & Directed by the talented Rachel Meredith "Blue Eyes" was a project Rachel contacted me to help out with as Director of Photography and editor.
I'd recently worked with Rachel on Teens vs Vampires and was always impressed with her passion and drive, so it was a no brainer to jump on board to help out.
This was my most recent project to date and i do have plans to work on future projects with Rachel.
"You must Love Me"
Going with a music Theme that i had never done before "You must Love me" was sung and performed by the super talented stage Actor and singer Sam J Scott who i had the pleasure to work with on Teens vs Vampires.
And also had the great pleasure to work with Red Carpet A list interviewer and Shopping channel host Andy Oliver who kindly played the part as Sam's father in the music video.
"My Wolf"
"My Wolf" was a side project of mine, created soly for the purpose for the DVD extras for Dense Fear 2 Bloodline.
Keeping with the Werewolf theme, this song that i wrote tells the story of how a young woman believes her love for a man will break the curse he has upon him.
This is Sang by the amazing Hayley Morrison who also starred as the leading role in my short film Purple Hill.
As of yet it hasn't been completed in the editing stage, but it's something i would like to complete very soon.
"Arms of Salvation"
Arms of Salvation was a music video i signed up for as Director of Photography and editor.
Unfortunately this never got used as the final edit.
"In the night Sky"
"In the night sky" was a song i wrote and performed for the feature movie Teens vs Vampires A.K.A The Lost Ones
This was an early test recording, which would of been re recording to top quality had the film ever been completed.
I still plan to make a music video of this with the original footage that we shot for the movie.
Video montage camera tests
I don't own the rights or have not created any of the following music featured in these next 3 videos.
The sole purpose of these was to test out my new DSLR camera in different environments, however i still thought this might be interesting to share with you some of my first Cinematography in digital format.
City by night canon 600D test
Countryside Canon 600D test
"The Dolls"
This was two music scores i created on my Synthesizer combined together to create this spooky video of some not so cute Dolls.
"Cheese & Wine"
I don't take all Film making too seriously, sometimes you have to unwind and just take on some silly projects, i created this Christmas sing along music video from scratch.
I wrote an Original song kind of stealing the Auld lang syne tune and placing it in to the Chorus and came up with the most Cheesiest possible thing I've ever done, but you have to admit, it is Christmassy
"Calling"
"Calling" was another Original song in which i wrote created and performed.
This style of music was kind of inspired by the likes of Linkin park.
It touches on the subject about human greed and basically how we are all programmed to self destruct.
Lets hope events like in this video never happen.
"Regret"
"Regret" was a song i wrote and performed as part of a personal album i was working on, this stuff wasn't meant to be shared to the public as it's just a side hobby of mine, but i do kind of like this one.
It's yet another song in the style of Linkin park.
It's a story about a guy who does time in Jail for man slaughter after getting in to a fight with a home intruder
